  1. Well I'm sure I'll be getting the Disney service since my gf loves Disney movies. What's this about Disney having two services?
  2. "Diablo has kidnapped you and 99 of your fellow villagers! Dropping from the sky, he has given you one task: Kill the others before they kill you, and win your freedom!" Diablo Royale
  3. I mean the biggest thing is just get rid of the jank. I doubt they will ever be able to get as smooth movement and aiming and everything as Fortnite.
  4. Yeah you're supposed to use warp drive to travel between systems, and it takes 20 seconds. You need to follow the main mission to acquire your first warp cell. Then in the next system you get recipes for the stuff needed to make more. Follow the mission tips on the bottom-right side of the screen, and make sure to enable the main story as your mission in the mission log (press ESC and then go into Log).
  5. Yes, he is a very sane and stable leader: I might be paranoid, but this seems like something that Trump would tell someone to do to punish Canada for not giving in to US trade demands.
  6. Excellent! And I can't wait for the protests from the very people (fat, uneducated, unhealthy) that will need this tech the most!

  8. Saudi Arabia has cancelled the scholarships of 16,000 Saudi students in Canada, and has ordered them to find education in another country. https://www.newsweek.com/saudi-arabia-orders-16000-students-leave-canada-amid-diplomatic-row-1060547?piano_t=1 That's fucked.
  9. So now he publicly admits that the meeting was about getting dirt from the Russians? lol what a moron.
  10. This is now a competition as to who gets the most paid leave. Annual Vacation: 3 Weeks (w/ 5 days carry-over) Sick Days: 20/yr (w/ unlimited carry-over)
  11. It looks like in Canada employers also contribute 4.95%, so it's a combined contribution max of around $5,000/yr per employee. So Canada takes less and pays less than in the US, it seems. It looks like SS cap is about double of CPP, per month. Huh. Mind you, I imagine most people don't come close to the cap. I wonder what the averages are for both countries. From a basic search, the average SS payout is around $1,300/mo. Average in Canada is $641/mo. When combined with the OAS in Canada, it's $1,228. Does the US have an equivalent to the Old Age Security payment?
  12. Interesting. In Canada you can also take your CPP early by a few years for a reduced monthly payment, and it ends up being more if you live past 70-something. It's an encouragement to retire early. Canada also has Old Age Security which everyone gets starting at 65, but it's not much ($586.66/mo for everyone who makes less than $122,000/yr at retirement).
  13. I don't even think you can compare the two. It's like asking if The Raid is better than Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Both are near-perfect in their own genre, and most of it comes down to personal taste. T1 is a near-perfect science-fiction horror film, and T2 is a near-perfect science-fiction action film. I think (and hope) we can all agree on that.
  14. Vanity Fair: Trump Wants Mueller Probe to End in a "couple of weeks"; Threatening to Fire Rosenstein
  15. Huh. In Canada the CPP contribution limit this year is only $52,400.00. That's only $40,367 USD. The amount collected is 4.95%, so $2,593.80 per year ($216/mo max). Is that higher than the % collected in the US? The maximum payout for CPP is $1,134.17 per month in 2018 (which is taxable), with the maximum surviving spouse benefit of $680.50 per month. Is that comparable to the US amounts?
